What Happens During a Commercial HVAC Inspection?

It’s the responsibility of business owners and property managers to ensure the safety of their employees and clients. An efficient HVAC system is vital to creating and maintaining a pleasant and healthy indoor environment for your building’s occupants. Regular inspections and maintenance can help keep your equipment in good shape and prolong its life. 

Here’s what you can expect when your AC service provider assesses your HVAC system. 

Inspection of Key Components

Filters and Belts

Among the first things experts will check are filters and belts. They help keep the air inside your building clean. When worn out, these components can compromise your HVAC system’s performance and harm the health of your workplace environment. 

Coils and Ductwork

Inspectors will examine your HVAC system’s coils and ductwork for any signs of debris buildup or damage. Clean coils are vital for the system’s efficiency, while ductwork free of dust and mold ensures healthy airflow throughout your commercial space.

Calibration and Wiring

Accurately calibrated controls guarantee that your set temperatures match the actual environment in your building. Professionals will check the system’s wiring to identify electrical hazards and see if all components are correctly connected.

Thermostats  

Does your facility use multiple thermostats? If so, inspectors will assess each for proper operation. Malfunctioning thermostats might generate inaccurate readings. Sometimes, they even prevent your HVAC system from working properly.

Addressing Potential HVAC Issues

Air Leaks and Load Calculation

Detecting and addressing air leaks can prevent wasted energy. It can also keep your system from working too hard, reducing the need for AC repair. The technicians might conduct a commercial load calculation to determine whether the system is appropriately sized for your building. A correctly sized unit will provide efficient heating and cooling without experiencing unnecessary strain. 

Professional Recommendations

After the inspection, you will receive a detailed report of the technicians’ findings. It should include faults and safety concerns within the system. This document will also state recommendations for repairs, upgrades or maintenance.
